Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured environmental training and advisory services for the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme 2026/27, specifically CGS22 pre-application advice. The work supports prospective Countryside Stewardship applicants with advice before they submit applications, within the programme’s higher-tier environmental land-management context. It is a services requirement, classified under environmental training services. Delivery covers the North East and North West of England, with the procurement also recorded at Natural England’s London address. The buyer is Natural England, the public body responsible for the requirement. The selected supplier, Promar International, is based in Nantwich and provides specialist agricultural and environmental consultancy services relevant to delivering advice to land managers across the specified areas.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Natural England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 3pm, and the award was made on 14 July 2026. Promar International was selected for an awarded value of £251,900, with the contract running from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement record identifies a single services requirement covering the programme advice. The source data does not set out separate lots or an award-scoring breakdown. The recorded supplier is Promar International, and the award is active. The contract therefore represents a defined regional delivery programme rather than an open competition for individual suppliers at this stage.

For businesses assessing future work with Natural England, this award demonstrates demand for specialist countryside stewardship and environmental land-management advice delivered to applicants before submission. Credible suppliers would need practical knowledge of the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier, the CGS22 pre-application process and the ability to turn technical environmental requirements into clear, usable guidance for land managers. The geographic spread indicates a need for delivery capacity across both the North East and North West of England, supported by staff who can work consistently across multiple areas. Relevant agricultural, conservation, environmental training and advisory experience would strengthen a supplier’s position. Experience operating through a public-sector framework would also be important, since this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender.
